How Medical Imaging AI Puts Your Privacy at Risk — and What You Can Do Artificial intelligence is making its way into radiology departments at a rapid pace. AI tools can help radiologists spot tumors, measure organs, and flag abnormalities faster than ever before. But as these systems become more common, a quieter problem is emerging: what happens to your medical images and the data inside them once AI gets involved? ...

AI in Medical Imaging: Your Private Health Data May Be at Risk – Here’s How to Protect It If you’ve had an X-ray, MRI, or CT scan recently, there’s a good chance an AI system helped analyze the images. Hospitals and clinics are adopting these tools to speed up diagnoses and catch problems radiologists might miss. But a recent report from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) raises a serious question: what happens to your private health data once the AI gets involved? ...

How to Avoid Malware Disguised as Productivity Apps: A New Campaign Explained A recent malware campaign known as TamperedChef has been circulating, using signed productivity applications to deliver information stealers and remote access trojans (RATs).

How to Protect Your Medical Privacy When AI Reads Your Scans If you’ve had an X-ray, CT scan, or MRI recently, there’s a good chance an AI system helped analyze the images. That’s often a good thing—AI can catch subtle patterns human eyes miss and speed up diagnosis. But the same technology also introduces privacy risks that many patients don’t know about. A recent report from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) makes clear that the rapid adoption of AI in medical imaging has opened what it calls a “Pandora’s box” of privacy-related vulnerabilities. Here’s what’s happening and what you can do about it. ...

Malware Disguised as Signed Productivity Apps: How to Protect Yourself A recent malware campaign called TamperedChef is targeting people who download productivity apps such as note-taking tools, calendars, and office software.

This trick lets the malware slip past basic security checks that many users rely on. ...

Your Medical Scans Are Fueling AI—Here’s What That Means for Your Privacy Artificial intelligence is changing how radiologists read X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans. These tools can detect tumors, measure organ sizes, and flag abnormalities faster than a human eye alone—and in many hospitals, they’re already in use. But as AI becomes more common in medical imaging, a quieter conversation is emerging about what happens to the data inside those scans. ...

Beware of TamperedChef: Malware Hidden in Signed Productivity Apps A new malware campaign is making the rounds, and it exploits something that usually gives users confidence: a digital signature. Security researchers recently detailed a campaign dubbed TamperedChef, which uses signed productivity applications to deliver info-stealers and remote access trojans (RATs). If you download software for work or personal use, this is worth understanding. ...

What You Should Know About AI and Your Medical Scans’ Privacy Introduction Artificial intelligence is now being used to read X‑rays, MRIs, and CT scans in hospitals and imaging centers across the country. The technology can flag abnormalities faster than a radiologist alone, and in some studies it matches or even exceeds human accuracy for certain findings. But as AI tools become more common, a different kind of risk is getting less attention: what happens to the actual images and the sensitive data they contain. ...
